HTC Rezound Android 4.0 update leaks

The HTC Velocity, HTC Sensation and Sensation XE all have official Android 4.0 updates rolling out and now it looks like Verizon may be on the verge of releasing the OTA update for the HTC Rezound. A few days ago, an Android 4.0 update for the HTC Rezound found its way onto the web and can be easily be installed by simply downloading the file renaming it to “PH98IMG.zip”, placing it into the main directory of your memory card and reboot your phone into the bootloader by holding the volume down and power buttons – no root access required.

There’s no guarantee that this is the final build that Verizon and HTC will be making available to HTC Rezound owners in the coming weeks or months, but we’ve heard from a few of you already which claim that the build is a lot more stable than the other Android 4.0 leaks which have surfaced recently.

If you’re brave enough to install the leaked Android 4.0 update in your HTC Rezound, leave us a comment below to let us know what you think of the update and if you experience any issues. Don’t forget, installing a leaked Android build on your phone does comes with several risks (you could brick your phone), so please read all the instructions carefully before you do so.
